Chapter 126 Clearing the suspicion
Chapter 126 Clear the Suspicion
As expected, when Song Baoling and Jun Tingsheng rushed to the front hall, it was already in chaos. Not only were there screams, but everyone was scared like rats.
The two men blended into the crowd, and Jun Tingsheng came forward and subdued the tiger together with the guards. Fortunately, they were outnumbered, but the tiger was captured after a short time.
"Hurry up and lock up the tiger, and be sure to keep a close eye on it!"
After the tiger was taken away, the panicked people calmed down. However, when they saw that the tables and chairs in the hall were in a mess, there were dishes and dishes on the floor, and the wine bottles were still flowing down, it could be described as "a mess".
words to describe.
"Come on, who got this tiger?"
Jun Yelan was already furious. A good banquet looked like this, and it looked like a royal majesty.
At this time, Jin Wanlin came out with a trembling look on her face, "Reporting to Your Majesty, the tiger is... the little girl brought it as a sacrifice to His Majesty, but I didn't expect that something like this would happen. I hope that Your Majesty will forgive me."
Jun Yelan was obviously very angry. When he saw that she had brought the tiger, he showed no mercy and wanted to punish him on the spot.
"Your Majesty, please calm down. I think there is something fishy about this matter."
The queen came forward to plead for Jin Wanlin and pointed out: "The tiger has been kept in the medicine spring. I think someone must have broken into the medicine spring and released the tiger."
"If it is true as I suspect, then the person who released the tiger has ulterior motives. Please be merciful until the truth is found out."
Song Baochai, who was sitting nearby, saw this and immediately echoed: "Your Majesty, the Queen is right."
"It's just... I think I saw Sister Ling'er leaving the banquet just now, and her behavior makes people feel a little suspicious."
The queen didn't know why Song Baochai wanted to help her, but now as long as she could help Jin Wanlin get out of crime, no matter what the other party's purpose was, she could only cooperate.
"My sister has just said this, and I have just noticed it. Please ask the Holy Spirit to send Song Baoling to clarify the matter."
Jun Yelan saw the purpose of these two people, but he did have some doubts about Song Baoling, so he ordered Song Baoling to come forward and answer.
Unexpectedly, Song Baoling appeared covered in blood and was trembling with fear.
"My maid...kowt before the Holy One."
Looking at the pale woman covered in blood, Jun Yelan's heart suddenly softened a little, and the originally cold expression on his face became much gentler.
"If I ask you a question, you must answer it truthfully."
"Yes, I will definitely report the truth truthfully."
"Does what happened just now have anything to do with you? How did you end up like this?"
Song Baoling pursed her lips in grievance and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, I just left because someone said that Concubine Song asked me to go to the backyard to help find earrings. Who knew that a tiger appeared in the backyard as soon as I arrived."
"My daughter was so frightened that she kept running for her life. During this period, she almost died because she couldn't dodge. Fortunately, my daughter was only injured and saved her life."
Song Baochai didn't expect that Song Baoling would bite her back. She was so shocked that she was stunned. After coming back to her senses, she tried to deny it: "No, I didn't ask her to find any earrings. She was lying!"
"Concubine Song."
Song Baoling opened her blood-stained palms and revealed the earrings in her palms, "I have found the earrings for my empress."
Looking at the familiar earrings, Song Baochai was speechless for a moment, and Jun Yelan couldn't help but feel a little suspicious when he saw her look like this.
Now that the evidence was conclusive and Song Baoling was injured again, the queen had no choice but to follow Song Baoling's words and transfer the suspicion to Song Baochai.
"I heard that Concubine Song had some disagreements with her brothers and sisters at home when she was in the Hou Mansion. Today you tricked Song Baoling into knowing there was a tiger in the backyard."
"Now that the matter has been exposed, you still want to blame her for disturbing the Holy Driver. I have to admit that Concubine Song really put on a good show."
These words completely blocked Song Baochai's escape route. Jun Yelan turned his head with a gloomy face and said angrily: "In order to harm the sisters, you actually put everyone in danger. I think you want to take my life too."
.”
"If I don't punish you today, how will I explain it to the ministers?"
As soon as these words came out, Song Baochai was so frightened that he froze on the spot and suddenly fainted the next moment.
Seeing that Jun Yelan didn't seem to want to pay attention, the Queen Mother had no choice but to speak in person: "Where is the imperial doctor? Come and see what's going on with Concubine Song."
The imperial doctor hurriedly ran to the high platform. After checking his pulse, he suddenly knelt on the ground and kowtowed: "Congratulations to the Queen Mother, Congratulations to Your Majesty, Concubine Song is happy."
Jun Yelan didn't show much joy. Thinking of what happened just now and the people watching and waiting in the audience, he felt even more upset.
"Come here, Concubine Song will be banned from Baohua Palace immediately. Without my permission, she is not allowed to step out of the palace gate!"
After saying that, Jun Yelan angrily walked away, leaving a mess behind.
The Queen Mother rubbed her eyebrows with a headache. After a moment, she raised her eyes and looked at Jin Wanlin who was kneeling beside her.
"Although you didn't release the tiger, your negligence today disturbed the emperor and caused so many people to be injured..."
Having said this, the Queen Mother suddenly saw the look the Queen was looking at and sighed helplessly in her heart.
"Let's do this. The Ai family will punish you to compensate for the losses of everyone here. You can apologize to them properly and let's put this matter aside for the time being."
Jin Wanlin's hanging heart finally dropped, and she quickly leaned down and kowtowed: "My little daughter, thank the Queen Mother for not killing her."
"Okay, the Ai family is exhausted today, so let's all disperse."
After the Queen Mother left with her maids, the hall became noisy again. Everyone was complaining that Jin Wanlin had done harm to others. But now that she had been pardoned by the Queen Mother, no one dared to cause trouble to her in public.
"Ling'er."
Jun Tingsheng avoided the crowds and quickly came to Song Baoling. He frowned when he saw the injuries on her body.
"Let's go, I'll take you back to heal."
The two of them walked out with support, but Jun Tianlin's voice came from behind. Song Baoling quickly calmed down and turned around to look at him.
"I wonder what's wrong with the prince?"
Jun Tianlin looked at the two of them indifferently, staring straight at Song Baoling for a moment, his deep gaze seemed to be observing through her.
"Miss Song looks like she was seriously injured, but she is lucky to have escaped from the tiger's claws."
"My little girl is indeed very lucky today."
"But Miss Song was able to escape from the tiger's mouth at such a young age. I really don't know whether she should be said to be extremely lucky, or... courageous and resourceful?"
Song Baoling listened to his ambiguous words, as if she saw that today's events were all planned by her, and couldn't help but smile slightly.
"Your Majesty, you are overthinking it. My daughter has only been attacked by a wild wolf before, so she has a little experience facing tigers this time. It really does not match the words 'brave and resourceful'."
"Right now, my daughter is seriously injured and has to go back for treatment. I will have a detailed discussion with the prince another day. I will leave now."
After finishing speaking, Song Baoling bowed to him and saluted, then turned and left with Jun Tingsheng.
